As part of the Diamond Jubilee, churches up and down the country will be joining the celebration by the lighting of Church Beacons.
In 1953 church bells rang across the whole country to herald the Coronation of The Queen and it is fitting that on the 4th June 2012 St Nicholas’ Church, Chearsley will be giving thanks for her reign by lighting one of these beacons.
Everyone in the village is welcome to join a candle-lit procession at 9.30 pm from The Green to the church, where there will be a ceremonial lighting up of the beacon on the tower at 10.00pm and a toast to Her Majesty The Queen.
